Zelenski considers that the war will be short if Ukraine is strengthened

MADRID, 15 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The president of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelensky, has affirmed this Sunday that the duration of the war with Russia depends on the strength that his country achieves.

"The stronger Ukraine is, the weaker Russia will be and, therefore, the less time this war will last," the president said in the daily video in which he addresses the Ukrainian population.

Thus, he added that "everyone in Ukraine, everyone in the free world" must do everything in their power so that "those who support the war pay an ever-increasing price for Russian state terror."

In this way, Zelensky has reiterated his opinion to expand visa restrictions for Russian passport holders in Europe.

The Ukrainian president indicated in an interview granted to the American newspaper 'The Washington Post' that the "most important sanctions that can be taken are those of closing the borders" to the Russians. "They must live in their own world until they change their minds," he asserted.

Continuing with this idea, the leader has singled out Russian citizens. "We must remember that when evil acquires such proportions, the silence of the people approaches the level of complicity", he has criticized him.

"No matter where he (the Russian citizen) is, both on the territory of Russia and abroad, his voice must sound in support of Ukraine and therefore against this war," he said.
